One of the most seductive and winsome version of this grat song. Delicious and foxy voice made this cover very secial."Venus in Furs" is a song by The Velvet Underground, written by Lou Reed and originally released on the 1967 album The Velvet Underground and Nico. Inspired by the book of the same name by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the song deals with themes of sadomasochism, bondage and submission.Tikovoi (Parisian techno-synthesist) is a French record producer who recently worked on the Placebo album, Meds. In 2002 released an album under the name "Trash Palace" (Positions, featuring Brian Molko, John Cale, Asia Argento and others).Dimitri Tikovoi traffics in a similar kind of electro-sexual twitch and throb as the Eighties German duo Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft (DAF), drawing on techno's pounding energy as a sonic representation of sexual activity; the result is a sort of continental cousin to Goldfrapp's Black Cherry, but more down and dirty.
